No it would not, the radio station publicly humiliated somebody resulting in their death.

No, what she did when she got home resulted in her death. Anyone who believes otherwise is a coward. And a moron.

The hospital should have given her a week off with full pay allowing this to blow over, assured her that her job was not in jeopardy and that measures would be taken in the future so that she is not exposed to this sort of thing again.

How about issues like public humiliation, job insecurity.

There are hundreds upon thousands of examples where people have publicly come off second best and start again tomorrow like nothing ever happened. Shit blows over in a day or two. That's life baby, what are you gonna do? Imagine sacking this woman for what happened, you can guarantee that you are going to be up against both a lawsuit and the public.

Bottom line: Had she not killed herself, nobody would be talking about this and it would just be another trashy headline from last week.

In Australia, the licensed premises that served him alcohol beyond inebbriation would be charged with this crime.

That would be setting quite the precedent considering it has never happened before. And besides, it wasnt a crime.

No barriers please. I prefer that people hold themselves responsible for their own actions. That's what is wrong with society today - people's problems are always someone else's fault. It was the bar's fault for serving him alcohol, it is the railways fault there wasn't a barrier, it was the taxi's fault for being too expensive...

"Well, actually she offered to do me if I gave her the job. I said no way and she threw herself at me! I shoved her away and the she said she would take it to the police. I was literally crapping my pants...."

Trash radio stations are supposed to do this kind of thing. They have to entertain morons and create publicity. Seriously, station managers around Australia, the US and the UK are kicking themselves that their station isnt in the papers today.

Did the station force this woman to commit suicide? Absolutely not. In fact, if this nurse had have been Australian, she would have become a bit of a celebrity herself.

Who was this article written for? Overweight, white, retired baby boomers in warm climates I think.

Seriously, mulled wine? Mantlepieces? Baileys? Trivial Pursuit?

Christmas isnt really a problem for those who live healthily, have a normal level of self discipline and would rather enjoy the moment rather than pick the bones out of it.

My advice is to drink up (Jack Daniels or gin), give and get a bunch of presents, smoke up and unless Aunty Mary is going to leave you a large inheritance - tell her to shut her ol' yap before she ends up the lonely old lady getting leftover mince pies donated to her.
